WELL SAID I AGREE I JUST WANTED SOME FEELINGS ON THE THING AND MAYBE GIVE THE PEOPLE PUTTING THIS ON SOME HINTS FOR NEXT YEAR BUT I DO HOPE IT BRINGS GOOD LIGHT TO THE SPORT AND ONE OF THE SHOWS IS ONLY AN HOUR FROM ME BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE LESS FORUNATE HAVE A CHANCE ALSO:YEAH

the one thing that i see, is people putting in the time, and yes the comps are getting bigger, but look at the xsba, people can talk big all they want, the xsba was a sanctioning body for this sport and how many people competed in that, what maybe 20 per comp. now the people that have been putting in constantly are getting there shot, so the people that are good riders have untill the next big comp to prove themselves. or they could go to starboyz stuntfest and prove themselves there.

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts

ha, you guys are funny with your comments like "deep pockets" and "not being able to afford to drive around the country proving themselves"!

i'm a TEACHER, yet somehow i've managed to do what i've done. without risk there is no reward.

there are a million guys out there on the playgrounds as good as some of the best guys in the NBA, but for some reason, whether location, lack of connects, poor home life, drugs, etc - they aren't int he NBA.

its the same thing here man. you cant expect to just ride at your local spot and then be invited to do anything, nevermind a national championship basically. all that qualifying stuff costs money and time, and why does anyone who rides in their back yard deserve any of the rewards given to those who are out there doing it?

and Z young grasshopper, don't misuse my beloved 'politricks' phrase in the wrong context!!

as a matter of fact, all you new englanders have a chance to prove yourselves in the following 3 series championship:

https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=157043

there are comps and shows everywhere to make a name for yourselves, it is each riders choice to make it happen and do it - or make excuses and watch others do it

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts

First off, know what your B I TCH ING about before you B I T C H!!!

Thomas, was accepting pictures and videos of any riders who think they deserved a chance to compete. THIS IS A MAJOR EVENT WITH MAJOR SPONSORS!!! If you had proper LOOKS, i.e. Rider appearance is "flashy", bike is not "beat up" and you got enough ALL AROUND skill, then you could have a chance to compete.

It doesn't take much to look "professional". And if your good, it shouldn't be that hard to go out there and get a few sponsors to help you out. It just takes time and effort!!!

I don't know if its too late, but if you think you got what it takes with proof, then get a hold of Thomas.

Peace...

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts

just look at it this way... all of the riders rep our sport, and our life style. they are good riders. yes.. but they are there for the crowd. and from what i have seen from all of them.. i think they will rep. our sport to the fullest. and have busted their *** to ride, at that event.

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts

quote from the XDL and GT Live site

If you are a rider and would like more information about the competition please contact Thomas Evans at dsogthomas@yahoo.com.


invitation only means that no scrubs can show up the day of the show and pay $20 to come wreck in the middle of the program endangering thier lives or anyone elses...are you honestly trying to tell me that all of the 100 people who "tried" to qualify at stuntwars should have been out there??

lots of people have a great chance and have impressed me... I saw a lot of unknown riders at stuntwars who are welcome to contact me and compete at the east coast event..

people who are coming up like Luxury Joey out here in the west are also welcome too

This is the bottom line...

if you dont think you are good enough to come then most likely you arent

If you feel like you ride well and take pride in yourself and your motorcycle then you should contact me.. have evidence of your ability and professionalism in hand

which is true Gary could have a damn good shot but thats also all the west coast guys. the east cost comp is too far away he'll be noticed but i also agree its too early in the event stages to hold a qualifier this could very well end up like the NSRA unfortunately which could have been great for the sport. I wish that would have pursued. But with thomas running this one I have a feeling its going to be a good thing for the sport as we know it.

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts

i had somethin all written out but i decided not to post it because i dont feel i will get enough appreciation for the amount of time i have invested to just throw it out there

so im gonna say this, if you got enough money to do whatever it is you want but it upsets you this much that other people cant, why dont you help them out, give them some money to travel or help them raise money and sponsors to travel if thats what they really want, and if they are talented enough

Re: xdl comp. is BS in my book whats your thoughts

What it basically breaks down to is you shouldnt have to beg and plead to get into the xdl or any invite only event, your resume, personal apperance, bike appearence, and overall professionalism should get you in, you would already be noticed.

I know for a fact that Thomas himself only got this gig cause of his reputation as the best, and hes trying to make it work for everyone. If you were the same then your name would be up on that list.

As far as rich and famous, thats a joke, no one is famous, maybe in our own little minds. And rich, now thats funny, outta the list of people competing:

one gave up everything he knew at his home of many years, up and moved to socal on a dream and is making it work, lived offa credit cards and what he could, not rich

one still goes to college and im pretty sure doesnt live the rich lifestyle youre talking about

One is a west coast hood star haha, street king, living where he rides

one works his *** off at his local job just to be able to go riding at night, and have the few things he has that does the job.

etc etc

so just realize that the list is only there cause they deserve it, once these parking lot pimps that you mention deserve it then they will be noticed!
